Kicks

Love how you can totally see how they were made. Like those shoes made from tires in warmer climates

What the hell kind of category would this fall under?

Brendan Monroe

The work is great, especially want his zine "between here & here". Click on the images below to see more work & his etsy.

Letterpress just got even more awesome.

Frickn' adorable village made from letterpress prints.
Such a cute idea, love it.

Best part is you can get it off etsy! A-hem, Christmas gift for me anyone?

Badass Pussies

I could die looking at this...

Just discovered the work of Adrien Merigeau. Goodbye evening. Here's what got me on this tangent:



So I don't normally do this, but I have to rant. Here I am, a fucking early 20s artist. Life sucks. All I want to do all day is stay in & draw, just watch this kind of stuff, get inspired, and work for the next 12 hours cause I can't stop. It's maddening. I met with a couple artists when I first came to Portland & what they said was totally true: "It's an addiction". How true, you can't stop.
My golden years better be bad ass, I am in need of super good karma.

Twisted Love

Almost too twisted for me, but I love it nonetheless.

Alma Mater

Check out this crazy video of a guy parachuting into my alma mater's football field! Almost makes me proud...

"Sexy Interaction"

Flash without coding? Say whaaaaaaaaat??

Wayne Coyne

Here he is making a print with his own blood...this looks sweet! I love his print studio setup.

Gotta love Ashley

From my friend Ashley's tired hands. This shit cracked me up.
You can see her other work/whole box head series on the image's link.

What is that font they're using?

Found a really great site to tell just what it is...

What to do with this old typewritter?

Make waffles, obviously.

How do they do that??

With the paper?? Really?? Is it double-sided tape? Ghah!

Girlie Girlie Girlie

Ok, so I don't usually post super girlie stuff but I came across these flowers and absolutely love them! They're clay & as my fav flowers are peonies this discovery was just perfect. I love flowers, but hate those fake fabric ones. This would be an awesome alternative.

Check out the etsy. Fair warning: estrogen overload.

Oh, what a thrill! At the Grilled Cheese Grill...

Went out exploring my new city of Portland the other day, and finally went to the Grilled Cheese Grill. They have a plethora of different types of grilled cheeses, and a cutesy little bus in the same lot as their kitchen trailer where you can eat your goodies. Inside was this fucking ridiculous mural by artists Eatcho & Jason Graham. Look 'em up.

Graffiti intervention

i'd be down with being involved with something like this!

Threadless shirt "dog fight"

Digging this design.

Portland Architecture

It's called the "eyebrow house", found it online here.
I would love to go visit this place. Looks awesome.

Heard about this on NPR. Pretty funky!

This & that Impactists piece awhile back are so inspiring to me...

TELEPHONEME | MK12 from MK12 on Vimeo.

I NEED to get back to doing creative work. I miss it terribly. :(

Great way to determine battery life on macs

Free download, totally recommend it. Found it when I was researching tips for buying a used mac. Nice little tool.

Best use of 5 minutes

Is to watch this.

Contemporary Pop-Up Book? Say whaaat?

Can't wait to move & have an actual place to call my own again so I can buy art books. Lots and lots of them.

Beautiful menus from "Mucca Design" of New York

Saw their work in the book "New Vintage Type" I got from the library. I adore their typeface "ambroesia", but couldn't find how to buy/download the typeface. Darn.

Comic Sans hatred

Cute little spot for NBC

Love the illustration style & timing.

Tell No One

Found this experimental group called "Tell No One" who are out of UK, they do phenomenal experimental work. I just love it.

Seaweed from Tell No One on Vimeo.

Here's the link about them from their site:
"Give away everything you know and more will come back to youLondon based filmmakers Luke White and Remi Weekes have decided to open up the creative process with the blog ‘Tell No One’.
Intended to be a peek into our experimental process, we hope to post our on-going ideas, inspirations and processes. Think of this as like an informal brainstorm.
We love making music videos and commercials, so we hope this blog may attract the attention of music artists, production houses and even other film makers that would want to collaborate or even expand upon our ideas!"

Just for fun

Note the description:

Herbert Baglione

Great example of well designed packaging.

Simply lovely.

I wish there was such lush design in everyday life today like there was when these airline stickers were prevalent.

Short film thingie

Came across this little film online...not too big of a fan of the narration, but LOVE the visual style & excellent choice of sound use.

Exit through the Gift Shop

So,...haven't written in awhile because I've MOVED to SEATTLE! It's absolutely beautiful here. I'll talk about it some other time, but I'm more excited (at the moment) for THIS:



About to piss my pants over anticipation!!! This movie is going to be so awesome, AND it's coming soon to Seattle! (23rd of this month!!).
SO many amazing artists are in this film, I'm so pumped to see it.

Misc crap i've compiled on my desktop

Not a big fan of Sagmeister, but this is pretty cool.

Can't wait for March 18th...Marian Bantjes in Ann Arbor!
